Okay, there's definitely something odd going on with my set up. I 
followed your directions to the letter and OPTLINK barfed. Here 
is the output from my first try to compile:

d:\example\gtkdtest>dub run

And after double-checking, I did it again with this result:

Those were from the standard command shell. I tried it with Git 
Bash as well and got the same results.

And that's why I haven't been using dub. I got things to work 
with dmd and like they say, if it ain't broke... :)

You said you're on OSX, right? Is it possible that dub just isn't 
as cooperative on Windows 10? Of course, if you can see something 
in this output that hints at a fix, please let me know.
